Andy Serkis News

Lord Of The Rings,Gollum

I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.

it will return to the well of one of its most valuable IPs, Lord of the Rings, for a new feature film out in 2026.

Naturally, Gollum actor Andy Serkis is returning for the role, but not only that, he’s also directing the film. Serkis previously directed the Venom sequel, Let There Be Carnage, and 2018’s Mowgli movie. This would be the first LOTR film not directed by Peter Jackson, who is instead producing. Here’s Serkis had to say about the Gollum film:

Lord of the Rings has been a bit all over the place in recent years. Amazon, with the TV rights, has invested $1 billion into Rings of Power, its massive LOTR show focused on a young Galadriel and Elrond, which aired its first season to somewhat mixed reviews from both critics and fans. At least four more seasons are planned.
